Betsy Smoot and Natalie Cote went 3-1 and took second place in No. 1 doubles Wednesday at the Topeka Invitational tennis tournament.

The Lions placed fifth among eight teams.

Erin Ventura went 2-2 for fifth place in No. 1 singles, and Payton Smith was 2-2 for fourth place in No. 2 singles.

Maddie Mask and Caroline Baloga took fifth in No. 2 doubles with a 2-2 record.

“There were times that we all played pretty well,” LHS coach Chris Marshall said. “Payton got off to a good start and went 2-0, and overall she had a pretty good day. Erin ran into two really good quality opponents. Betsy and Natalie were probably the most consistent.”

Smoot and Cote lost a third-set tiebreaker, 10-8, against Topeka Seaman in the championship match.

“They showed a lot of promise,” Marshall said. “They dug deep and played some good tennis.”

The Lions will host Shawnee Mission West, Blue Valley West and Shawnee Mission Northwest on Monday at Rock Chalk Park.
